Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hey all, I'm confused.

On page 14 of the MMBASIC 4.4 manual there is a programming example:

a = &b11101001

I thought variables could only contain strings or floating point numbers? Can the above example be used for hex too?

Thanks

Never mind. I think I got it straight. My IT course was a looooong time ago LOL Maybe I should hold off for a few more minutes before asking questions of the group. Let the grey matter percolate out its knowledge
